We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share new videos released by WIPO this week, which are taken from their latest YouTube series “Learn the PCT”. These short programs are packed with information on the Patent Cooperation Treaty, and will prove to be a great resource for applicants and inventors considering foreign filing via the PCT.

Check out the first two episodes below. In episode 1, Deputy Director of the PCT Legal Division, Matthias Reischle, introduces the main procedural steps within the PCT system, examining traditional patent systems, avenues available to applicants seeking international patent protection and more. Then in the second episode, Reischle discusses the actual PCT application, sharing important deadlines and country-specific requirements for applicants.

Episode 1 – Introduction to the PCT System

Episode 2 – Basics of the PCT
